The Fandom Rant

Note: So I started this entry about a week ago, and had not managed to finish it until today. I suspect this has much to do with the fact that my computer has no internet access, and I'm unwilling to spend a ton of time on other people's when they might want to use them. This problem should be solved when Weirdquark and I take our computers in tonight, and mine gets a happy wireless card or Airport or whatever Macs get. In the meantime... ah, well. Have an entry.

So we went to Otakon and it was really neat and I was Hakkai from Saiyuki and we saw music videos and the movie Hero is really pretty and there were all these cosplayers (people in costumes from anime series. Oh, Otakon is a huge anime convention in Baltimore to which I went with about thirteen friends because Thrud was a master of organization last year and about fourteen people went in the complete and gorgeous costumes from the series Saiyuki, and now it's a tradition) and they were cool and then I was Shuuichi from Gravitation and Thrud was Mr. K and marched me around at gunpoint and we saw a little bit of anime and everybody got completely exhausted and there was a very-very-wrong-not-in-the-good-way panel on hentai which was upsetting but other than that I think fun was had by all and I got to see people I had not seen in forever and bought cool posterish things and it was FUN!
